It's not like these are the first non-animated movies to get a DVD pack-in. Child's Play that was released recently got one also.

ok, well you just argued my point: the house has a blu-ray player and a DVD player. so it has already adopted the format. hence, the inclusion of the DVD in the combo itself did nothing to make them adopt the format, as they already had the blu-ray player in the home (for other reasons, such as desire for better PQ/AQ, etc). it doesnt matter if they watch the DVD in bed or give it away, the end result is the same: they dont adopt the format because of the DVD in the packet.
